In the not-too distant future, Autodressertm's have become fairly widespread, with nearly 80% of all American homes containing one. The devices helped keep closets organized, and through advanced technology, helped the user get dressed, performing many of the daily mundane tasks associated with one's morning routine.
In a nice house in the suburbs, Jennifer Malone was finishing up her morning routine. The Autodressertm opened the doors and she stepped out. She was wearing a black blazer with a white blouse underneath, a black skirt and matching heels. Her hair was perfectly styled, and her makeup immaculate. As she stepped out, she tapped on the screen with her manicured fingers, clearing the current settings. However, on this day, she accidentally tapped the "Undo" button by mistake, an error that she failed to notice as she grabbed her purse and exited the room.
In the kitchen, Jennifer's husband, Jason, sat at the table reading the newspaper in his pajamas. Jennifer walked into the kitchen and spotted her husband at the table.
"Don't you need to be getting ready?" Jennifer asked.
"I've got time." Jason said, turning around. "You look beautiful today."
"You say that every day." Jennifer giggled.
"Well, I mean it every day." Jason smiled and glanced at a clock. "Don't you have another half hour?"
"Usually." Jennifer said as she grabbed a yogurt from the fridge and put a cup under the coffee machine. "I've got a meeting today, so I want to do some last minute prep in the office."
"I'm sure you'll do great." Jason said.
"Thanks, babe." Jennifer said, leaning down to kiss her husband. "See you tonight, and get a move on! Just because the machine works fast, doesn't mean you should become lazy."
"All right." Jason said as Jennifer walked towards the front door.
Jason put down the paper, stood up and stretched.
"Yawwwwn. I guess I should get to getting dressed." Jason walked towards the bedroom.
Typically, when the Autodressertm finished its shutdown procedures, the previous settings were stored in the specific user preference files before being moved from the main computer system, and when the next user came in, they would tap the screen with a finger, where the touch-ID system would identify them and load their preferences. When the machine was improperly shut down, the previous settings would remain active, and the touch-ID wouldn't recognize the new user until the old preferences were cleared. Unfortunately, after several years of using it, Jason had gotten much less observant and merely tapped his finger on the screen without checking if it registered.
The doors to the Autodressertm slid open and Jason took a step.
